KSDB-FM chief operator Vern Wirka to retire at end of this year KATHRYN FINK

THE COLLEGIAN

After functioning as the KSDB-FM faculty adviser and chief operator for the last seven years, the highly regarded and admired Vern Wirka has announced his retirement effective Dec. 31. Wirka spent many days and nights on-call for radio stations throughout his career, with KSDB being the final installment of his lifelong broadcast journey. As many students acknowledge his future departure, they are sure to reflect on the eminent development of KSDB since Wirka’s

arrival in 2011. Wirka has been functioning at KSDB not only as the chief operator, but as an adviser, a role model and an evident influencer among his students. Combining an extensive radio and broadcast background, with a mastery of engineering, followed by a passion for molding students, Wirka could not have found himself in a more suitable position. “Working with KSDB has given me the opportunity to pass along my knowledge and experience to another generation or more of broadcasters,” Wirka said. Wirka has made sure tradi-

tional radio stays as relevant and up-to-date as possible. With segments of talk shows, roundtable discussions and live musical performances being integrated into the show, Wirka said he believes broadcast radio will continue to prove itself over and over again. “The next generation of broadcasting is moving more and more every day towards a direction of change in the distribution system,” Wirka said. “From over the air, to a broadband internet system, KSDB is right there.” It is no secret that Wirka is as humble as he is dedicated. When asked about his legacy, he chuckled.

“I am a firm believer that in any job or position, you ought to leave the operation in a much better condition than you found it,” Wirka said. The station was relocated several times before finding its current home in McCain Auditorium. When Wirka arrived, the station was certainly not state-ofthe-art. “It definitely did not have the capabilities to provide students with the experiences they needed to be successful in a broadcast career,” Wirka said. “We have expanded the technical capabilities and upgraded the studios and software.” The overall possibility for students to gain news writing and onair skills has expanded due to Wirka’s advances. KSDB is now an NBC network radio affiliate. With so much to be proud of, Wirka said he is most proud to have been able to construct an environment that allows students to be creative

on multiple levels. LeAndre Carthen, graduate student in mass communications, is the KSDB station manager, and he said he considers himself lucky to have worked with Wirka. “He makes sure the rooms are always put together, and everything is taken care of,” Carthen said. “He’s a proactive person in regard to staying in regulation with the Federal Communications Commission.” James Copeland, senior in mass communications and programming director for KSDB, has also created a bond with Wirka. He said he believes his four years spent learning under the broadcasting veteran’s mentorship were nothing short of remarkable. Copeland credits his adviser with having a profound impact on his life. “He has taught me as much about life as he has about radio,” Copeland said. “He is a beacon of integrity and virtue.”

Copeland recalled meeting Wirka while helping to remodel the station, and then seeing him six or seven days a week while working for KSDB. “It will be with a heavy heart that I see him retire,” Copeland said. “But he deserves everything that is coming to him in retirement, including the reduced stress from not having to worry about keeping the station on air every day.” Although the mark left by Wirka is a prominent one, Copeland hopes that Wirka’s forerunner enables students to thrive by engaging and making recommendations. While the chief operator position will be up for grabs, Wirka has obtained a Society of Broadcast Engineers certification and will remain the adviser of the Amateur Radio Club. Upon retiring, Wirka said he plans to do some traveling with his wife and enjoy not being on-call.

Men’s basketball travels to West Virginia Saturday AVERY OSEN

THE COLLEGIAN

File photo by Meg Shearer | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

Taking a short break to catch his breath, Kansas State Wildcat junior forward Dean Wade waits for the next play to begin. The University of West Virginia and K-State last played in Bramlage Coliseum on Jan. 1, 2018.

The Kansas State men’s basketball team will play West Virginia University on the road Saturday after losing to Kansas on Monday night. K-State was stifled after the Jayhawks showed a zone defense for the majority of the second half after not being able to effectively guard junior Dean Wade. “None,” head coach Bruce Weber said about how much the players had prepared for the zone coming into the matchup. “They haven’t played zone, and we’ve gone against [zone] the last three games and we carved

it apart. We didn’t move the basketball and we didn’t ever have great rhythm.” The Wildcats have still won five of their last seven games; both losses came to Kansas. West Virginia on the other hand has been trending downwards lately after being demolished by the Iowa State Cyclones on Wednesday, 9377. K-State and West Virginia are tied at fourth in conference play going into this game; both of them are 5-4. Last time the two teams played, the Mountaineers got the best of the Wildcats on New Year’s Day inside Bramlage Coliseum, 77-69. In that game, Mountain-

eer freshman Teddy Allen carved up the Wildcats coming off the bench and provided 22 points for West Virginia, while sophomore Lamont West had 19 in the winning effort. For K-State, sophomore Xavier Sneed had 20 points, and juniors Dean Wade and Barry Brown had 17 and 14, respectively. The Wildcats still had junior Kamau Stokes in that game, but he was no real help to K-State’s offense, going 0-10 from the field. Stokes was cleared by medical staff to play against KU, but Weber held him out for cautionary reasons. The Wildcats might see more zone Saturday, but with the way West Virginia plays,

they will likely see a back-andforth type of contest. “We just have to move on from what happened and just focus on our defense,” Wade said after Monday’s loss. “We have to move on to the next play, and in this case, the next game, which is West Virginia.” Kansas sits atop the Big 12 currently at 7-2, and it will be a tough climb for K-State to catch the Jayhawks after losing twice already to them this season. Texas Tech and the University of Oklahoma are in a tie for second right now at 6-3 after both teams narrowly won their weekday games. The Wildcats and Mountaineers will tip off at 3 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN2.

Wildcats ready to rebound against Iowa State Cyclones BRETT ENGLE

THE COLLEGIAN

After dropping a road contest to the University of Oklahoma Sooners, the Kansas State women’s basketball team will aim to bounce back with a win at home against the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday. K-State is currently 12-10 on the year, 4-7 in conference play. Iowa State is 9-13 overall and 3-8 in the conference. These two teams played earlier in the year on Jan. 10; K-State came away with a 67-60 victory in Ames, Iowa. In that game, senior forward Kaylee Page and sophomore forward Peyton Williams recorded double-doubles. Page recorded 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Williams had 15 points and 11 rebounds to go along with five blocked shots. Four Wildcats reached double-digit points in that game. K-State will have to try and control the glass, as the team is last in the Big 12 in rebounding margin. The Wildcats have been out-rebounded by an average of seven rebounds per game.

Junior guard Kayla Goth continues to lead the team in scoring, she is averaging 16.2 points per game and has a team-high 6.7 assists average, which leads the conference. Her 16.2 points per game is seventh best in the Big 12. Goth also leads the team in steals with 1.9 per game. Iowa State has lost four of its last five games, including two straight. All of those games though have come against ranked opponents. After the battle with the Cyclones, K-State will remain in the Little Apple to host the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Feb. 7. The Wildcats and Cyclones will tip off inside Bramlage Coliseum on Saturday at 7 p.m. File photo by Cooper Kinley | K-STATE ATHLETICS / COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

Painting collection in Union art gallery explores color, landscape MIRIAM CHAMBERLAIN THE COLLEGIAN

Vivid views decorate the walls in the William T. Kemper Art Gallery in the K-State Student Union. The collection, “Geography & Color” by Mitch Stimers, features paintings inspired by landscapes and is on display from Jan. 16 through Feb. 7. Geographic artist Mitch

Stimers shows his love for the outdoors, mountains and wideopen spaces through colors, shapes and textures. Walking into the exhibit, vivid colors and details greet the eye. Stimers challenges his viewers to find the landscape in the color or simply enjoy the abandonment of stacking ten million rectangles of color into one square inch. While viewing the exhibit, others shared their

thoughts on which painting they enjoyed the most and why it stood out to them. Marisa Avila, freshman in animal sciences and industry, said she enjoyed Stimer’s reproduction of Birger Sandzen’s “Shallow Bay” because she liked the colors and how it reminded her of days warmer than those of a Kansas winter. “It just makes me want to put my feet into the water and swim in it,” Avila said. “I would

definitely want to purchase this piece and hang it up in my house, personally.” Other K-State students also reflected their own personal emotions on the pieces of work in the gallery. Mitchell Yarnall, sophomore in architecture, said the painting “Belize” is the only one that speaks to him out of the whole gallery because of its avant-garde nature. “In all the chaos there is still order, and he’s basically framing

craziness, which is done really well,” Yarnall said. “Personally, I think the color plays a key role. I hate the color yellow, but it makes so much sense in this palette.” Even if one piece of art work does not really stick out, the vibe of the gallery will set a mood that is unexplainable. Laurie Wesley, associate director of Counseling Services, stopped in the gallery thinking it only featured landscapes, but soon

realized it was much more than that. “I see a lot of the expressions of the emotions dealing with the colors, and it’s just exciting to see what the painter’s talent has to offer,” Wesley said. The William T. Kemper Art Gallery is located on the first floor of the Union. The area is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit the Union’s website at union.k-state.edu.

On the Spot Improv debates silly topics in first UPC Dumb Debate OLIVIA BERGMEIER THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State Union Program Council partnered with the On the Spot Improv group to begin a series laced with hilarity called the Dumb Debate Series. The first debate was held Thursday. UPC has hosted a debate series before, but it was about serious topics, and students did not get too involved with it at the time. Erin Sullivan, senior in marketing and one of the cochairs of daytime programs, said the turnout for the debate series was not ideal, so she and the other co-chair, Charlsie Fowler, senior in apparel and textiles, de-

cided to begin the Dumb Debate series with the help of members from the On the Spot Improv group. The four members split up into two teams: an older group consisting of Emma Pirotte, sophomore in elementary education, and Mason Swenson, junior in public relations, and the “newbies,” which was Jacob Casey, freshman in political science and finance, and Kailey Meacham, freshman in fisheries, wildlife and conservation biology. With the two teams set in place, Fowler was the mediator at the podium. “Are hot dogs a sandwich?” Fowler asked. This question sparked a hot debate between the groups. Pirotte said hot dogs are not a

sandwich, but a taco. Casey bit back firmly with the statement that indeed, hot dogs are a type of sub sandwich. Pirotte then proceeded to walk around the room, mic in hand, and ask the audience if they ate different Mexican toppings on their hot dogs. “What do you put on your hot dog?” Pirotte asked a student in the audience. “Um, mustard?” the student said. Pirotte continued to ask, “Pico de gallo? Cheese? Guacamole?” and she finally got the answer she wanted by asking, “Beans?” and the student answered that she liked chili with her hot dogs. Pirotte used this answer to enforce her stance that hot dogs are indeed tacos.

Another topic of the event involved the infamous dress meme from February 2015, with both sides passionately debating if it was black and blue or gold and white. The dress meme argument did not last long, but another debate did.

“Is the abbreviation of graphic interchange format pronounced with a hard or soft G?” Right as the question left Fowler’s lips, Pirotte came out swinging: “Jif is peanut butter.” Casey attempted to rebuttal this but was quickly shot down by

Meacham, who said, “You don’t say graphics as giraffe-ics.” Swenson backed up Meacham and Pirotte by taking a poll from the audience, and they determined that indeed, the proper pronunciation of GIF is with a hard G, not a soft one.

Volunteers prepare plans to "Polish the Little Apple" this spring THAYNE BENOIT THE COLLEGIAN

Logan Wassall | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

Residents of Manhattan gather together to generate ideas on how to better the community on Wednesday night at Bluestem Bistro in Aggieville.

Food historically linked with political power, lecturer says KAYLIE MCLAUGHLIN THE COLLEGIAN

On Wednesday, Emily Twarog, director of the Regina V. Polk Women’s Labor Leadership Conference at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne, gave a lecture on her book as part of the Diversity Lecture Series at K-State in the Hemisphere Room at Hale Library. Twarog’s book is entitled “Politics of the Pantry: Housewives, Food and Consumer Protest in Twentieth-Century America.” “My goal was really to show how women use their everyday lives to exert political pressure and to gain a political identity,” Twarog said. Twarog said the topic of her book emerged during her research while in graduate school. As she dug through archives at universities across the country — the Kansas State University Consumer Movement Archives

specifically — she said she noticed there was a lack of “intersectionality” between historians of the labor movement, the women’s movement and other civil rights campaigns in the 20th century. Twarog said by looking at history through a singular perspective, historians miss that the home was at the center of it all and more specifically food. She said her book “looks at food — very specifically, it looks at meat — as a protest tool.” “[The book] shifts the focus away from the workforce protest and dissension and looks to the home front as the starting point for protest in the women’s political sphere,” Twarog said. “It brought issues of the family and the economy to the public’s attention.” Food boycotts, such as the meat boycotts that Twarog explained, appeared in every decade at least once in the 20th century and brought national focus to “corporate influence in politics, a lack of protections and policies

benefiting the working families and really the absence of consumer protections.” Twarog said meat in many instances throughout history was “directly tied” to gender roles and was a depiction of the “American standard of living.” In Twarog’s book, she discusses women like Mary Zuck, who rose to prominence and was the national face of the 1935 Meat Boycott. Zuck joined the movement in protest of the high prices of living, but mostly in order to protect her family. Zuck and the other women who fought against elevated food prices were successful in gaining the attention and changing the conversation. While lasting impacts are debatable, the boycotters were able to start the National Consumer Congress. For more information about the meat boycotts in the 20th Century, Twarog’s book is available for purchase from the Oxford University Press.

On Wednesday, Change the World Manhattan, a local volunteer group, met at Bluestem Bistro to continue discussions on an upcoming campaign. Their campaign, entitled Polish the Little Apple, will be a month-long effort for volunteers to help those in need in Manhattan this April. In preparation for the campaign, Change the World Manhattan volunteers will meet weekly. In the long run, the organization aims to make the city of Manhattan a better place to live by helping individual citizens in any way they can. Rod Harms, coordinator of Change the World Manhattan, said one of the main goals for the campaign is to make

the community “pop.” Harms said he hopes that at the end of April, the impacts made by the volunteers will be noticeable to the community. “If we work together we can accomplish some things, and then I hope it lasts and continues on,” Harms said. Change the World Manhattan has partnered with the city of Manhattan to invest themselves and their reach in the community. Local groups or citizens who need help with various cleanup tasks around Manhattan can go online to register their needs on the city website, and then requests will be given to the appropriate volunteer for coordination. “It is really too enhance the community of Manhattan through working together to do some physical improvements,” said Sarah Marsh, pastor at the First United Methodist Church

in Manhattan. Volunteers could participate in a variety of tasks ranging from pruning a tree for an elderly citizen to assisting with volunteer coordination, Harms said. Melinda Rose, house mom for Theta Xi and a Change the World Manhattan volunteer, said she encourages all Kansas State students, whether they live in dormitories, Greek housing or off-campus housing, to work as volunteers to make their home a better place to live. While “polishing” Manhattan, volunteers from Boy Scouts, the Flint Hills Builder Association and many other organizations will put their skills to good use, Harms said.

National News Briefs: February 2 RACHEL HOGAN THE COLLEGIAN

The state of Kansas received some good financial news on Jeff Colyer’s first full day as governor. The Kansas Department of Revenue announced Thursday that tax collections for the month of January exceeded estimates by $165 million. According to the Kansas City Star, tax collections for the last fiscal year also surpassed expectations by $248.6 million. House Majority Leader Don Hineman said the good news is only partially based in reality, while part of it is only attributed to changes in tax policies that affected the timing of receipts. The state legislature still faces the challenge of devising a plan to adequately fund schools as the deadline from the state Supreme Court looms in April.

The White House is set to release a secret memo written by Republican staffers of Congress on Friday. According to The New York Times, President Trump wants the memo to be released because he believes it provides proof that law enforcement officials “acted inappropriately” while seeking information on Carter Page, one of Trump’s campaign advisers. Democrats and national security officers warn against its release, claiming it puts sensitive government information in jeopardy. A statement from the FBI — released Wednesday — says the memo omits information that affects its accuracy. A student opened fire at a Los Angeles middle school Thursday morning. Two 15-year-old students were shot, one in the wrist and another in

the head. According to BBC News, the student shot in the head is in “critical but stable condition.” Three other people sustained minor injuries, but were not shot. The suspect, a 12-year-old girl, is in police custody. This is the third shooting in a U.S. school in recent weeks. Russia remains dubious of U.S. evidence of Iran’s “lawless behavior.” Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations traveled to view what the Pentagon claims to be remnants of an Iranian-made missile used by Yemeni rebels against Saudi Arabia, according to CBS News, but was unconvinced that Iran has supported and illegally transferred weapons to terror groups. The evidence is part of the U.S.’s efforts to persuade the U.N. Security Council to take action against Iran.

Men's basketball team chosen for Paradise Jam JULIA JORNS

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State men’s basketball team was selected to compete for the second time in the 2018 U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam. This tournament is set for Nov. 16-19 at the University of the Virgin Islands Sports and Fitness Center. Other teams in this tournament include Eastern Kentucky University, Kennesaw State, the University of Missouri, the University of Northern Iowa,

Old Dominion, Oregon State and the University of Pennsylvania. K-State has played the other seven teams at least once in the program’s history. If there is a game between K-State and Missouri, it would be the second since 2015. The last time K-State was in this tournament was in 2002 when they went 1-2. They beat the University of Michigan in the consolation game 82-71 after losing to Brigham Young University (64-73) and Toledo (50-58).

“We are excited to take our team to the Paradise Jam and the U.S. Virgin Islands,” head coach Bruce Weber said to K-State Sports. “This is a really competitive tournament that includes a number of quality, historically-strong programs like Missouri, Northern Iowa, Old Dominion and Oregon State.” The 19th annual event returns to its original facility after being played in Lynchburg, Virginia and Liberty University last November because of hurricane damage.
